José is a Lecturer in Physiotherapy at the University of Essex. His clinical background is in musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy, namely in tennis. His research focuses on motor control, neurophysiology, and hamstring injuries in footballers. He investigates mechanisms of motor slowing, brain-muscle coupling, and neuromuscular adaptations in athletes, combining techniques such as EEG and EMG. His work aims to bridge neuroscience and rehabilitation, with relevance to injury prevention and return-to-play strategies.
